So I had to sacrifice and utilize a boat this summer, while I was in town, so this is my buddies boat, that we rough it on. Its running a 350, with outdrive, dont recall for sure which outdrive. Open bow, not to crazy about the wild paint, but the boat floats, and gets across the water very nicely. Its an 01 Cheetah, which works for to fill the void of having a boat in the water.

We correct craft owners are a funny lot aren't we, when a boat like that is something we suppose we could settle for, if we're in a jamb, and there is really just nothing else available ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Only a 350 in that thing? There should be a couple 454s in there.
Is it all show? Or is there any go to it? ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |

It runs a small block 350, which gives it some good go. The top speed is around 55-60, depending on the water, but I havent had time to clock it out with the GPS to see if the single speedo is correct. It is only a 23 foot boat, so a small block is enough for the lakes. It planes quickly, and cruising on plane, at a much lower speed than any other boat I have been in. For the price of that boat, I could have finished my boat, and then bought beer for a few weekends. ------------- Travs Where there is a will, there is a way, and where there is a way, it usually costs more money. 1980 Ski Nautique |

So make your "new" one look like that. Lower it and give it a slick paint job. In your spare time!

jbear, that is hilarious! Spare time? Just like you, I have none! I'll stick with the stock look. Thanks again for helping me with that.
For those of you who don't know, jbear and mrs jbear are going out of their way to make arrangements to pick up and store a trailer I bought off the site until I will be in FL 3+ months from now. Above and beyond, in my mind. But it demonstrates the quality of people who own Correct Crafts and belong to the site.

My apologies to Seattle for my thread hijack. Please confine further posts to discussing the boat pictured above.
